to the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU), the only party at the time, emerged. It united the anti-communist opposition
parties in the USSR: the Sotsial-demokraticheskaia partiia Rossiiskoi Federatsii, Respublikanskaia partiia Rossiiskoi Federatsii,
Partiia konstitutsionnykh demokratov, Svobodno-demokraticheskaia partiia Rossii, Rossiiskoe khristianskoe demokraticheskoe
dvizhenie, Konstitutsionno-demokraticheskaia partiia, Partiia narodnoi svobody, Partiia svobodnogo truda, and other organizations.
In January 1991 Demokraticheskaia partiia Rossii also joined the movement.
